Supporting Chicago’s children, families, and educators since 1901.
关于我们
As JPA’s founder, Jane Addams, once said, “America’s future will be determined by the home and the school. The child becomes largely what he is taught; hence we must watch what we teach, and how we live.” This belief has been the driving force behind JPA for over 120 years. At the Juvenile Protective Association, our vision is that no child ever has to struggle alone. We work to achieve this through our mission of bringing compassionate, innovative mental health resources directly to children in need and the adults who support them. By providing therapeutic counseling in and after school, supporting social and child welfare workers, empowering parents and caregivers, and providing expert guidance to teachers and school staff, we’re helping kids in Chicago’s underserved neighborhoods navigate trauma and reach their fullest potential at home, in school, and in our communities.
